Numark PT01 Portable DJ Turntable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this turntable to a) replace an older turntable from the 70s and which weighs more than me, for which new needles cost 30-40 bucks, and b) to transfer old 78s into digital files for a podcast. It's one of the few turntables that I found with both a built-in speaker AND audio out ports, in both RCA and headphone cable form. Usually, I found ones with either one or the other. It's lightweight, it has excellent sound quality, much more tone and pitch control than you'd ever expect in a 100 dollar turntable, and the new needles cost only 12 bucks. I could not find where to buy the needles online, so after contacting Numark, I discovered that they would sell them to me directly for only 12 bucks each (even if it involved giving out my CC# via eMail). Being a very new turntable, I don't expect it to be phased out anytime soon, so the needles should remain cheap for a while.
Perhaps the only thing I would change is the fact that the table only starts spinning once you move the arm over it - there is no 'start spinning' button beyond the on/off switch. Also, there have been a few times when I accidentally dropped the stylus onto the metal surface and it's left a visible gouge, and I can't help but think that this kind of thing should have been somehow protected against.
I'm not a hardcore audiophile. I don't know the difference between the sonic clarity of a CD and an mp3, and honestly, if it sounds full, that's good enough for me, but this was incredibly simple to set up and plays excellently, and pretty solid (if mostly plastic).

Audio Technica AT-LP2D-USB Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable with USB Output, Includes Recording Software and Dual Magnet Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I'm not sure if the previous reviewer had his sound card input set correctly, or if he forgot to switch this turntable's pre-amp switch to the correct setting, but mine sounded great. Also, I elected to use the RCA output on this and not the USB... maybe he was having audio-quality problems with the USB part? Many users seem to have an issue with static and otherwise poor audio when using the USB connection. Instead, I suggest using the RCA output on this unit connected to your PC's audio-in jack for the best sound quality. Please read on...
I've never even owned any LPs before, but I recently got a real craving for some mixes that only appeared on DJ-only LPs. So I purchased a few, along with this turntable so I can rip them into MP3s.
Everything arrived on the same day, so I was like a kid in a candy store. All I can say is HOORAY!
There are two versions of this Audio-Technica turntable... one has USB capabilities, and the other (which is a bit less expensive) does not. However, even with the USB output, there are also good old RCA outputs on this turntable. The turntable also comes with two RCA to stereo 3.5mm mini-plug adapters: one male adapter (for connecting to stereos, powered speakers, or a mixer with 3.5mm mini jack inputs), and one female adapter (for connecting to amplified speakers or other devices with a mini-plug). Basically, you can connect this turntable to almost anything without having to go out and purchase additional cables or adapters.
The unit has three buttons on the front: start, stop, and up/down. I'm sure you can guess what each of these does. This is an automatic turntable, so the arm is controlled by the buttons (no need to manually lift and place the needle back down).
The turntable also has a pre-amp switch, for either "line" or "phono" output. This way, you can connect it to most devices, whether they have an amplifier or not.
The setup of the turntable itself is pretty easy. Follow the instructions to easily place the platter onto the turntable and pull the drive belt onto the motor spindle (illustrations are included).
I elected to connect the RCA cables to one of the adapters, and connected that to the "line-in" mini-jack input on my digital sound card. Technically, I didn't need to purchase this more-expensive USB version of the turntable since I am not using the USB output, but that's beside the point :)
There are two CDs included in the package: one for Cakewalk Pyro 2004/2005 (commercial software), and one for Audacity (open source software). Cakewalk Pyro is NOT compatible with Windows Vista, so I installed Audacity (check their website for newer versions if desired).
After installing Audacity, I selected my input source ("line-in"), put the first LP on, and heard exactly what I was hoping to hear... high quality music and sound. So I restarted the LP, hit the record button in Audacity, and waiting for the song to finish. Then I hit the "stop" button in Audacity to stop recording, quickly and easily trimmed a bit of the dead space before and after the song, and exported it to a high-quality, high bit-rate MP3.
For the money, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Everything sounds crystal clear, and couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this product. If you have a line-in jack on your sound card (which most do), and would like to use that, save yourself a few bucks and go with the model that doesn't have the USB output. I'm not sure if the other model comes with a CD for Audacity (maybe only Pyro), but Audacity is an open-source free download on the web anyway. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
Happy ripping! :)

Genuine GRUV-GLIDE is the original dry record treatment that makes records sound better. GRUV-GLIDE was developed by people who love music and love playing records!GRUV-GLIDE is a patented and trademarked dry record treatment developed in the late 1970's by Irwin and Bennett Rowe. a father and son team who owned and operated highly successful high-end audio stores in the Southwest.Irwin, a famous electrical engineer and superb trumpet player and musician, loved playing records but was generally dissatisfied with the record cleaners and treatments then available.Some just lined up dust, some attacked the vinyl and altered the record's molecular structure, and some were costly and difficult to use.Irwin wanted a record treatment that: 1. BulletIMPROVED FIDELITY 2. BulletELIMINATED STATIC 3. BulletHAD CLEANING PROPERTIES & QUALITIES 4. BulletNEVER ATTACKED VINYL STRUCTURE 5. BulletWAS VERY EASY TO USEWith those qualities in mind, and his extensive aerospace engineering background, Irwin went to work and tried many formulations. After years of development and extensive testing, GRUV-GLIDE was formulated and patented.Irwin and Bennett sold the stores and became full-time "GRUV-GLIDERS" in 1981.GRUV-GLIDE is now used world-wide by record lovers and professional DJ'sGRUV-GLIDE is made with pride in the USA and your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed!

Grado Prestige Black P Mount Turntable Phono Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was the third phono cartridge I ever purchased, and the only one of the three that I would consider buying again.
I got the smoothest sound out of my vinyl that I've ever gotten with this cartridge. Unfortunately, it has one very serious weakness--the stylus assembly is incredibly fragile, not to mention impossible to change if you don't have the special tool.
If you're doing any kind of archival work (like transferring your vinyl to your computer), you definitely couldn't go wrong with the Prestige Black.

Ion Audio TTUSB 10 Vinyl Recording USB Turntable with Audacity Software, Dust Cover and Analog Stereo Input Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now I know why I saved all those old 33 1/3 rpm records. Short of a NASA-quality machine, the Ion USB and associated Audacity software is the answer to the dreams of vinyl-savers. I went for the slightly higher-priced Ion rather than the Numark and was glad I did -- the heavy duty dust cover and tone arm lever are well worth it.
The software is awesome, especially to a dummy like me. Though it took me and my computer-wise grandson a few hours to figure it out and get a track recorded, a little fiddling with it will produce your own ritual procedure that will allow you to record tracks and export them as WAV or MP3 files to the desktop, from whence they can easily be dubbed to a CD. The instruction manual, I'm sure, is easily understood by those more in tune with the phrasing, but I found that about three commands do all I need or want. The click and pop removal feature is incredible, and will remove all but the most prominent clicks.
This is a high quality unit with excellent software. I recommend it strongly to any wanting to transfer old records of any speed to CD.

Technics SL-DZ1200 Digital TurnTable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, before I start my review of this product, let's be clear on a few things: You're about to read a review written by someone that considers himself one VERY stubborn skeptic. I consider myself a hip hop purist. I've been a DJ since 1994 and I hold vinyl in the highest of regards. I don't think anything will EVER be able to fully replace it. When I first heard about CD turntables being released to the public, I thought it was nothing short of blasphemous. I literally refused to lay my hands on one simply because I thought they were for lazy DJs and people with so little skill that they needed computerized turntables to take all the guess work out for them. That was until one day when I stopped by one of my favorite spots to cop some vinyl and another turntable. One of the salesman who I'd come to know on a first name basis and trusted a great deal introduced me to the marvel that is the Technics SL-DZ1200. I was still skeptical while he was showing me its capabilities. I had no intention of buying it at all......until I laid hands on it. Seriously, there is NOTHING that you can do with vinyl that you can't do with the SL-DZ1200s. What the previous reviewer said is true, you have to have a hands on encounter before you can make a fair assessment of this piece. I stood there scratching and mixing CDs for about an hour. After all was said and done, I left the store as an owner of one....and I'm not even a Technique kind of guy, I prefer Stanton turntables. The platter itself feels like vinyl and you can literally scratch the CDs like they were vinyl. You'll love it, no question. The previous review is very accurate. If you have a huge vinyl collection like I do (over 3000), then I can understand your hesitation. But I also have a growing CD collection (over 1500) and I would love to incorporate some of that material into my rotation. The switch for me was totally logical and I think that many other DJs will end up doing the same if they give this baby a spin.
If I had to find a beef, naturally, it would be the hefty price tag. CD turntables, depending on what brand and what features they have, can run you $700 - $3000 easy. And you have to wonder if the ability to play MP3s and CDR/RWs could lead to bigger issues. You'd never have to buy anything other than blank CDs and internet access. While I think that doing so is better suited for the morally bankrupt, the realist in me acknowledges that bootlegging isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
This turntable still gets my highest reccomendation and I urge any DJ looking into this to go ahead and get one. Pitch control, record manipulation, scratching....it's all there. Once you start scratching, you'll totally forget that it's not vinyl that you're scratching with.

It has 4 types of pich 6% 10% 16% and Wide (a.k.a 100%) the large very large Dial, that has very touch sensitve feeling so if you are scrach DJ, or any type this is the most versatile dial you can buy... forget denon.. forget techics (the new one.. not the mk2)... this is the baby every one has on raves and big shows. the screen is brighter than the Mk1 version (even do, i havent seen mk1 in action).
it has revers funtions, that allows to back spin the cd even if scraching... also its quick!! loading and un-loading, it has 3 cue points, so if you are undecide , set them up and change your mind with out setting up again the cue points
the only bad thing about this cd player its that its expensive so if you are one of those bedroom DJ, you might wana wait till you get 2k so you can buy a pair.

Grado Prestige Green Standard Mount Turntable Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I want to point out that the Grado Prestige Green is an excellent cartridge for its sound reproduction. Trombones are not piercing, bells are soft and the bass tone reproduction is amazing. Grado's are very well designed and deliver a great value for the money.
But... (and this is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars) you need to be sure that your turntable is well matched for this or any Grado. I have a direct drive turntable with an unshielded motor, and the Grado picks up a low amplitude hum as the stylus moves closer to the spindle. This is because Grado does not shield their cartridges. I don't know why, because everything else is great about this cartridge.
If you have a belt drive turntable with a motor far away from the cartridge or your motor is shielded, you shouldn't have any problems. This will be your best investment.
Now I don't want to exaggerate the hum, because you do have to turn up the volume pretty high to hear it. I have been using it for digital restoration of vinyl and the hum comes through the preamp and sound card. I can filter it out with software without damaging the audio (noticeably). I considered a different cartridge but I love the sound of this one too much.

Stanton ST-150 Turntable with Cartridge (S-shaped tone arm) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These turns are awesome, and better than any other turns out there; yeah they're even better than the latest Technics, which are not much of an improvement over their previous versions. The reason these are better is because Stanton put a lot of research into these bad boys, whereas Technics have taken for granted their status. Now they're paying for it.
The high torque adds a real quality feel as you manipulate your records, and I do guess that these will last for a while, unlike many old Technics which you have to push in order to not get that lagging sound. There are also knobs on these turns to adjust the brake and start speeds, just in case you want that lag sound. The platter is very stable, and the entire unit is heavy, which is a positive thing when talking about quality turns (stability). If you like to scratch, these bad boys will not let you skip note, assuming the hole for the spindle is not too large (just put some tape in there to get a tight fit). I would say that these are top notch, but don't pay $499. I paid like $400 or $420, so look around and buy from a reputable company. A+ all the way.

This product is made for DJ's, and as a professional DJ turntable it is an excellent product. The USB interface gives you a handy way to rip your vinyl to your hard drive if you're moving toward a digital DJ setup, but that feature is just icing on the cake. Its strong, variable torque makes it ideal for scratch DJ's or for fast startups. It's very solid and heavy which means fewer skips at live gigs. It has a built in BPM counter for beat matching. It can also be reconfigured for "battle-style" configurations. Pair it up with a good cartridge like the Shure M44-7H Scratch Cartridge with Headshell and you're good to go. I've used Technics SL-1200's professionally and I actually prefer these decks, and they are much less expensive than the 1200's.

Grado Prestige Red Standard Mount Turntable Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a Well-Tempered Record Player (Record Player is the model name of the turntable) in '99, started with a Grado Sonata, and a Grado Red as a backup cart; The Sonata sounded great, but expensive. Then tried a Shure 97; sounded ok. Then I tried a Denon 103. Sounded very good, energetic, lots of shimmer on cymbals. Then I tried the Grado Red. What a revelation. You don't have to spend a fortune on a cart to get it all. Soundstage, bass, sweet from top to bottom. I'll never need another cart for my TT. However, a word of warning; No piece of equipment is going to work for all applications. If your TT has a motor that sits close to the spindle axle, or under it, you might get hum as the cart gets toward the end of the record, and closer to the motor; My motor is on the opposite side from the tonearm, connected to the platter via a belt, so I don't have to worry about it.
